’04 BSc(Pharm)
Member at Large
I am honored to serve as a Member-at-Large for the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Alumni Association. Since graduating from the Faculty of Pharmacy in 2004, I have dedicated my career to advancing the profession and championing community well-being. As the Co-Founder of Mint Health + Drugs, I started our company from an idea to one of the fastest growing Western Canadian independent pharmacy organizations with 19 retail locations, employing over 250 team members across ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and BC. My leadership roles have included board directorships with PharmaChoice West, the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Pharmacists Association, and the Pharmacists Alumni Association, where I helped shape strategic decisions and support professional growth.
A passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion, I currently also serve as a DEI Officer with YPO ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, highlighting successes and challenges faced by underrepresented voices. My commitment to innovation, mentorship, and lifelong learning has been recognized by honors such as YPO's Gordon and Kathy Laing Award and the ACCE Community Award. I look forward to working with fellow alumni to strengthen our shared connection to the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥.
